I truly recommend it.
1st March 2016 - To kick off the 1Malaysia Super Sale & Shopping Malaysia Grand Launch 2016, Tourism Malaysia organised a Shopping Hunt for all the participants in the Mega FAM trip, which includes media personnel from ASEAN and tour agents from Africa and the Middle East.
The event was held at Malaysia Tourism Centre (MaTiC), just a few blocks away from KLCC. Participants of the Mega FAM was assigned to designated teams which comprises of local representatives from the travel industries, local publications and online media.
Before the Shopping Hunt, all the teams were briefed about their mission and objectives. Basically, participants are given 5 hours to visit 15 shopping malls, take 5 photos from each of the mall at specific locations as stated in the Shopping Hunt 'map'. They are allowed to travel (RM50 RapidKL card provided) via MRT, Monorail and Bus ONLY, strictly no taxis. Along the way they will have to collect 3 'treasure' items which will be essential in gathering points for their team. It is also compulsory for them to use the appropriate hashtags for the photos they took. All photos are then required to be uploaded to Miss Shophia Facebook Page.
Before the flag-off, the Shopping Hunt 2016 was officially launched by non other than the charismatic Datuk Seri Mirza Mohammad Taiyab, Director General of Tourism Malaysia. A huge group was taken at the end of this speech, before everyone proceeds to the starting line.
I only realised now that my team never took a group photo before we set off for the hunt! Anyway we strategised early, we divided ourselves in to two groups. Each group to cover the shopping malls according to location and flow of the race that will eventually end at Nu Sentral Mall. The shopping malls to be visited are Suria KLCC, Avenue K, Pavilion, Starhill Gallery, Fahrenheit 88, Lot 10, Sungei Wang, Berjaya Times Square, Quill City Mall, Sunway Putra, SOGO, Jakel Mall, Central Market, Nu Sentral and Jakel Mall.
Our first destination was Suria KLCC. This was one of the easiest one to complete, I think we did in about 10 mins. It was nice that it was a weekday, so there weren't so much human traffic.
The next mall was luckily only across Suria KLCC. The task at Avenue K was a bit challenging but we completed it quite quickly too. Avenue K is one of the newest mall in Kuala Lumpur. It serves as a urban hub where life and creativity is celebrated.
With over 60 exciting dining options including B.Bap, Fresca Mexican Kitchen, Dolly Dim Sum, Wondermama X, Simply d, Samba Brazilian Steakhouse Churrascaria, Sushi Zanmai, Ayers Rock Butcher and Grill, Fat Boy's Burger Bar, Sushi King, Swensen's, Bankara Ramen, Tokyo Pastry, Taste Enclave Food Atrium and Johnny Rockets, there is no doubt that Avenue K is a foodie's heaven. Unfortunately, I don't have time to even stop at one, so I guess next time I have to. If you're into those 'escape games', this is the place to be too.
From Avenue K we had to go to the Pavilion at Bukit Bintang, which is about a kilometre plus on foot.
Pavilion was also another easy task. The competition was quite tense but still teams are willing to help each other by pointing out where the locations are. Now I'm pretty familiar with Pavilion because I never miss it every time I'm in KL but through this Hunt, I was pretty surprised that they are parts of it I don't know!
The next mall was Starhill Gallery, a really high-end mall just across Pavilion where you'll find big brand names like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Hublot, Richard Millie and many more. It is also connected to two 5-Star hotels, JW Marriot and The Ritz-Carlton.
But my favourite part about Starhill Gallery is the dining area at the basement floor. From Asian to Middle East to Western and Oriental dishes, you will be spoilt for choices. And each one of them is uniquely decorated too. All together there are 15 different restaurants, you can check them out here.
Next is Fahrenheit 88, which is next to Starhill Gallery. This is my must visit in Kuala Lumpur simply because it has the largest Uniqlo store in Malaysia. It's like my Kryptonite, I cannot simply walk away empty-handed! Anyway, the mall houses a mix of regional, international and local brands with a mixture of international restaurants and entertainment too. Overall there's about 170 retail stores across 7 floors. And above the shops is the Fahrenheit Suites, a popular place especially for those who prefers a kitchen in their room.
The iconic Lot 10 was next. Before there was Pavilion, this is the star of Bukit Bintang. It houses a variety of popular brands like H&M, Zara, Timberland, Isetan amongst others. For Liverpool FC fans, this is where you'll find the LFC Store *booooooooo!* hahaha..
Next we had to cross over to Sungei Wang. Now I call this the oldskool Mall because of the layout. This award winning mall has everything. There is well over 800 retail stores for you to explore, so I'm not kidding when I say you will find everything. A day is definitely not enough here. Anyway, the task at Sungei Wang was a bit challenging, as we needed to get our "shopping passport" stamped on various floors. But other than that, the task was pretty simple.
From Sungei Wang we took the LRT to Berjaya Times Square, another popular shopping destination in KL especially for families because of the largest indoor theme park in Malaysia. The 5-Star Berjaya Times Square Hotel is also another popular place to stay in KL. There over 1,000 shoplots which includes GSC Maxx (the largest Digital Hall in Malaysia) and Tiny Taipei. And if you're a fan of Krispy Kreme, this is where you'll find it (ground floor).
With barely an hour before the end of the Shopping Hunt, we finally arrived to the final destination, Nu Sentral. Before we can rest, we had to complete some task too. I was given the responsibility to upload the photos to the designated Facebook Page for the judges to tally our points. We were also anxious waiting for our two other team mates, hoping they'll be able to upload their task too. Out of the three required treasures, which is the Karipap, Dodol and a DVD from Tourism Malaysia, we only managed to submit two of them. Despite that, we were quite confident that we'll be in the top 10.
After the official launch, cultural performances and fashion show, it was finally time for the results. The countdown begins from number 20. It was totally nerve-wrecking. My team mates and I felt kinda surreal that we made it to the top 10. And as they countdown to the top 3, it got beyond unbelievable as we're totally in the running to win the RM5000 for the first prize!
But finally, our team name was announced for the 3rd place! Alhamdulillah. It was totally unexpected and we wonder where would we place if we manage to submit all the the "treasures" required. But nevertheless, all of us were ecstatic to receive RM400 each plus some shopping vouchers worth another RM200.
Despite not getting the top spot, I'm still glad that another representative in Brunei was in the winning team. What a day it has been. Super exhausting but the adventure and rewards made it totally worth it. Thank you so much for this priceless experience Tourism Malaysia.!

Kuala Lumpur 29th February 2016 - The media reception for the Malaysia Super Sale this year was held at Sasana Kijang, the Museum & Gallery of National Bank of Malaysia which was opened in 2011. It is a centre of knowledge and learning excellence that embodies the Bank's commitment for the development of thought leadership and for regional and international collaboration in central banking and financial services.
Upon arrival the Mega FAM participants was greeted with a creative showcase on various Malaysian handicrafts. The media was even given a chance to create a Batik pattern of their own. In attendance were the media form ASEAN region and travel agencies representatives from Africa and the Middle East.
After a short welcoming remark from Hazlini Harun, the Manager of the Museum and Art Gallery, we were brought to the Art Gallery first which houses a rotating display of the Central Bank of Malaysia's art collection. The spacious area is very delightful and calming too.
We then proceed to the Numismatics Gallery. This gallery tells the early history of money and go back to a time when objects of different shapes and sizes were commonly accepted as currency within the region.
If you're a numismatists, you'll probably wanna spend a lot of time here. Old money is so interesting!
We then proceed to the Bank Negara Malaysia Gallery, where we learn about the important role and responsibilities of the Central Bank of Malaysia in maintaining the financial and economic health of the country.
The Vault is probably the highlight of this gallery. To view it you'll need to enter some codes and then only will the frosted glass clears for a while for you to view this treasures. We're told it's the real deal but they could just be pulling our legs.
The final stop was at the Children's Gallery which is filled with hands-on games and activities based on the concept of 'Save, Spend and Share'. The entry to this section is a also tunnel made of RM1 Million. No I'm not kidding.
After the visits, we were given a chance to have a hands-on training on how to properly frame artworks so that'll it last longer.
Despite the short time, it was a fun workshop. Next on the agenda was the Seminar Session for the 1Malaysia Super Sale.
We were welcomed by Ms. Azizah Aziz (left), Director of Corporate Communication Division, Tourism Malaysia. In her remarks, she presented the latest statistics of visitors to Malaysia. Ms. Baizuri Baharum (right), Head Secretariat of Shopping Secretariat Malaysia then presented to us the current and upcoming tourist attractions and also how the 2016 Malaysia Super Sale will be conducted. Check out their Calendar of Events so you can plan your trips to Malaysia wisely!
We also heard some briefings from various theme park and mall operators, sharing the activities that they have planned for 2016. There is certainly a ton of activities and deals for all those visiting Malaysia this year. Not just shopping but also sporting activities too.
One of the slides shared was this, which I'm kinda proud of hehe.. despite our small population of not more than 450,000 people, we manage to score high on the most generating tourist market statistic. No surprise really because we all know how we love to drive down to Miri or Kota Kinabalu for some R&R due to the strong Brunei currency.
To end the seminar, we were shown the award winning video of 'Malaysia Truly Asia" sung by non other than the renowned Malaysian artist and Tourism Advisor of Malaysia, Yuna. Personally, I've loved this song from the first time I heard it last year. So soothing and video is nicely done.
The final program of the day was the Welcome Reception hosted by Museum & Gallery of National Bank of Malaysia. The guess of honour was Datuk Seri Mirza Mohammad Taiyab, Director General of Tourism Malaysia. In his speech he emphasised more reasons why Malaysia is the right destination for tourist who wishes to experience Asia as Malaysia has a vast variety of races and religion which has showcases their own unique tradition from culture to food.
The event ended with some really good food and entertainment of various cultural dances and songs. It was a really long day but everyone truly enjoyed it.

A month before my trip to Singapore for Taylor Swift's 1989 concert (oh yes I did, story on a different post later!), I was looking for a fun/convenient place to stay along Orchard Road (of course!). And when I read about Hotel Jen Orchardgateway from Rano's post, my choice was made. And after a couple of emails, my room was confirmed. YASSS!
Bruneians who've been to Singapore will be familiar with 313 @ Somerset on Orchard Road. It houses the likes of Uniqlo, Zara, Muji, Forever 21 and so on. Hotel Jen Orchardgateway (HJOG) is located at the very same building, 10 floors up. So if shopping is in your mind, you couldn't have picked a better spot.
As I exit the taxi, I'm greeted by this a very huge chair. That seat part is about my height so it does take an effort if you wanna sit on it for a photo (like this). You are at your own risk tho, the HJOG will not be responsible for any injuries. At HJOG, they do not have any porters for your luggage, so you're welcome to use the trolleys provided. And those bicycles, they're free for use too.
While there is a reception at the ground level, you will need to take the lift to the 10th floor for check-in. All is done via a tablet, no papers to sign at all. Even when you check-out. Now that already impressed me and I haven't seen my room yet! If you've booked yourself their Club Room, check-in is a bit more exclusive on the 19th floor at the Club Lounge. My arrival was met by Elsa, the Asst DIgital Marketing Manager who briefed me more about the HJOG concept. I was then shown to my room after we set a time to meet up for dinner at the main eating hall at the hotel.
My Club Room was on the 18th floor. I've seen it online of course but nothing beats the real thing. SImple but elegant in a chic kinda way. The view was pretty amazing too albeit a little bit hazy.
After checking out my room, I quickly freshen-up and went to the 19th floor to see for myself their rooftop pool and lounge - Baywatch @ Jen. And I'm happy to say, it is as lovely as it looks online, if not better. The view is just amazing to say the least.
There is even massage services you can book during the day as you relax at the poolside cabana. If you've got kids, there's also quite big specially for them. If you intend to do nothing, this is the spot for it.
Lounge @ Jen - a place to just chill with your favorite cup of beverage, light snacks and tapas too. In the evening, they even have a Dj that spins chill out, loung-ish and groovy oldskool tunes too. See more info about their Happy Hour and Ladies Night specials here.
After the mini exploration, I stepped out to catch James Bond: Spectre on IMAX at Shaw Lido. Did I enjoy it? Well.. I find it all rather tame and cliche. Quite disappointing, not as dark as Skyfall was. Anyway, more on Jen. It's for dinner ar Makan @ Jen with Elsa.
Food, glorious food! I was also treated to their chef's specialties, the Mee Laksa and also Laksa Fried RIce. Definitely a must if you're into Laksa. Needless to say I was totally stuffed from all the good food. As for desserts, they've got a variety of cakes and ice cream.
For Club Room guest, you will have access to the Club Lounge on the 19th floor. An exclusive and more private area for you just to unwind or catch up on some work stuff. The breathtaking views of the Singapore skyline, Orchard Road or Somerset Road is calming and magnificent. You'll be spoiled with a generous buffet and high-speed WIFI! A great place for breakfast and evening drinks while you watch the sunset.
Hotel Jen Orchardgateway is definitely a place I wanna come back too the next time in Singapore. The excellent service, facilities and location makes it really value for money. It is under the Shangri-La hotel group, so you know it's quality all around. Their 26 Hours A Day Weekend stay is also something that you should take advantage off, read more of that here.
Thank you Elsa and HJOG for hosting my stay. I had a really wonderful time staying with Jen.

Two final attraction that we visited in Chiang Mai;
Mae Taeng Elephant Park & Clinic.
If you've always wanted to experience an elephant ride in Chiang Mai, then this is the place to go to. It was my first time ever on an elephant so I was quite nervous about it and getting to be on one of the biggest at that park, doesn't help with my fear of heights. I'm glad I braved myself tho, it was an experience like no other, altho at times I felt like i was slipping through the seats! They are also many other activities such as Bamboo Rafting, Ox Cart rides, an introduction to Rural life in Thailand, and more at the Park. As always we were on a tight schedule, so we didn't get to try it all.
Umbrella Making Centre.
The arts and handicraft centre will amaze you. The umbrella designs are fascinating, from the small decorative ones to those for your garden. And if you don't see any particular design you like, there's a lot of skill full artist who can draw what you want on the spot. They can even draw on your purse, handbag, hat, jacket, t-shirt and even jeans. I had one of them to draw a golden dragon at the back of my phone for only 50 baht. This centre is definitely a good place to buy some souvenirs for everyone back home.

An excellent and detailed write-up by Kampung Boy City Gal about Pai. If you're planning to go, this is a guide you should read through.
Places visited;
Chiang Mai Weekend Walking Street
This street market is the most popular in Chiang Mai and is especially packed on Sundays. Too packed that it's quite a challenge to see what is on offer. There is just simply too many to see, buy and eat. I suggest you skip dinner before going here because I am sure you will want to try some of the food being sold. Don't forget to bargain here, some items are marked up 100% than their usual price.
The Karen Long Neck Hilltribe Settlement
A very intriguing village with lots of handmade souvenirs. You can take photos with them but don't forget to donate to them a few baht as a courtesy. According to lingneckkaren.com, legend claims that the brass rings protect the women from tiger bites. But actually the practice of waring them helps maintain individual and tribal indentity.
Central Festival
There's over 300+ shops here with the likes of Zara, Uniqlo, Adidas amongst others ready to take your money away! Unfortunately we only had less than an hour to have lunch and shop. Sad sad sad. I was looking forward to ass a new color to my Adidas Supercolor collection, but sadly their colors were limited and in all bigger sizes. You definitely can spend a whole day in here, shop, eat and then maybe an IMAX movie.
Oasis Spa
A much needed break after the previous day of hardcore Songkran festival. Oasis Spas offer the unique "Lanna-style" spa experience where they blend the most effective ancient Thai herbs with cutting-edge massage expertise and added the professional pampering of highly trained therapists. You can never go wrong with Oasis Spa, they've been winning the "Award of Excellence Day Spa" from the Tourism Authority of Thailand multiple times "Day Spa of the Year" award from AsiaSpa Magazine amongst other prestigious awards.
The Windmill
Despite the European setting, their main specialty is Thai food, sushi and some western dishes too. The live band will keep you entertained as you enjoy your food. It's advisable to book as it is a popular stop for tourist groups who usually comes in a couple of coaches.

My first visit to Chiang Mai courtesy of Tourism Authority of Thailand. From Brunei we took a flight to Bangkok at about 10:55am and arrived at 12:30pm (BKK time). We had to be in transit until the flight to Chiang Mai which is about 5:30pm. There was 3 of us from Brunei, myself, Azlan from Borneo Bulletin and Jenson from United Daily. In transit, we met the Malaysian representatives which comprises of bloggers, journalist and photographers.
The flight to Chiang Mai took anout an hour via Thai Airways. Before checking in to our hotel, we had dinner at Khaomao Khaofang Restaurant. After dinner we checked-in to Eastin Tan Hotel and then explored MAYA Lifestyle Shopping Mall and Nimman Hill which is just across the road.
The next we actually left for Pai so the visit to What Pra That Doi Suthep is actually two days after. We visited the temple straight after we got back from Pai. It is located on Doi Suthep a mountain 1,676 metres (5,499 ft) tall and is one of the twin peaks of a granite mountain located west of Chiang Mai. The temperature was nice and cool and in the winter it goes down to 20 degrees and more.

I so wanna do this again!
I've never been to any of them except Santorini but I only explored the amusement park and shopping area of it. I think next time in Bangkok, I'm gonna give the Siam Park City a try.
Part of the Geneva trip was a stopover for a few nights in Zurich. It is such a beautiful place albeit a bit expensive.
This was quite an unexpected and definitely not one that planned. But I'm so glad I got to go and for the first time as a blogger, attended the world-famous Geneva Motor Show.
To see more of my photos in Geneva, simply click here.
This is a really good guide. The one above comes highly recommended.
This was quite an unexpected trip. I was asked if I could go just about 3 days before the trip. Luckily, I managed to sort out my leave.
There was about 18 of us in the group, comprising of Brunei travel agents, journalist from the local newspaper, Ranoadidas and an RB representative.

GUEST VIEW: Put more focus on recycling in 2013
The year 2012 has come to an end. It is now time to pack away Christmas decorations, freeze leftovers and focus on keeping those New Year resolutions for a least a few more days. For myself, it is also time to look back on the past year and review the progress that has been made toward increasing recycling in Montcalm County.

In the early 1980's before the National Championships and before the Hermann Trophies, before Ben Olsen, Mike Fisher, Claudio Reyna, Tony Meola, John Harkes, Jeff Agoos, George Gelnovatch and Jeff Gaffney wore the orange and blue, there was someone else that helped put Virginia Soccer on the map. His name was Voga Wallace.
Voga came to the University of Virginia from Silver Springs, Maryland. He arrived in Charlottesville with a swagger, a smile and a lot of game. By the time Voga reached the Grounds, he had already gained quite a reputation for his athletic prowess. At a time when soccer was just emerging as a serious varsity sport, Voga was a shining example that great athletes did play soccer. He was as strong as any football player, as fast as any sprinter and could jump as high as any hoopster.
For those of us who knew Voga , as impressive as his athletic feats, the thing we will probably remember most was Voga's unforgettable personality. Always smiling ... always upbeat ... always optimistic, he was always focusing on the positive. No matter the score or circumstance, Voga never conceded victory. As a teammate and a friend, whether on the field or off, Voga always wore his uniform with pride, honor and grace. Honoring Voga with the establishment of a soccer scholarship is a tribute to both his love of the game and of the University.

HOLY SHIT! Sandy Hook Fully Exposed video up to 8.5 MILLION views, 4.5 million more than yesterday

I watched the video and wondered myself about it, so I googled some pictures of the parker family.
Honestly, I think people are wrong about Emilie Parker being in the picture with Obama.
Here is why:
There is a Christmas card the Parkers did right before all of this happened. You can google it yourself.
The girls are older now than in the picture being used in the video (that picture was nearly 2 years old). The middle one is now almost as tall as Emilie and their hair is almost the same. Parted the same and everything. Emilies was a little darker and longer, but that is about it.
The little girl in the picture with President Obama does, indeed, appear to be the middle sister, not Emilee if you compare "Recent" pictures..not the older one.
Now as far as Robbie Parker's demeanor right before that Press conference, I don't know..but I can't discount that might have been a "nervous" smile right before going on TV. But I don't know.

I know this question has been asked a thousand times before and I'm familiar with the sizing chart that is in most Common Projects threads. But I guess I wanna make sure with someone who maybe has experience.
Is a size 45 the right size for me when it comes to Common Projects?
I would try to find a place you can try them on or try it out from an online store that allows returns. They're too narrow for mepost #14945 of 177743/9/14 at 2:33pmQuote:Originally Posted by ssortablaeht
Was hoping for thoughts on the fit of this Barena jacket I just got from Yoox.
Lots of spoilered pictures below (crappy, sorry); lmk if other angles would help. Thanks!
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Sorry but the jacket doesn't look good at all man. The other stuff you're wearing with it doesn't help and makes it look dumpy. Try it with a white shirt tucked in loosely. You can also try it with a white v neck tee.post #14946 of 177743/9/14 at 3:02pmpost #14947 of 177743/9/14 at 3:13pmQuote:Originally Posted by artisticfingers

Thank you for reply!
I want to look profesional at work but not to much because I notice that my coworkers dont wear suits... I was thinking blazers, pants, jeans, maybe sometime tie, shoes, shirts...
Outside work I would like to look stylish, maybe leather jacket, blazers, jeans, shoes? Not to modern.
I will take picture of what I have and then post here for you to see. But I think I dont have quality things...usualy I buy something when I need it and very fast... I will take pictures and post.post #14950 of 177743/9/14 at 4:03pmpost #14951 of 177743/9/14 at 6:46pm

Yuck, any suggestions on how to clean vomit stains from an indigo-died denim shirt? The incident occurred maybe about 12 hours before this post; is it already too late? I've, uh, scraped off the residue and what's left are large, dark spots.
I'm going to be at work all day tomorrow -- should I leave the shirt soaking in a bath of OxiClean until I can get home and run it through a wash? Any pro-tips appreciated.
Thanks in advance.post #14952 of 177743/9/14 at 7:23pm

1. I'm currently looking for an everyday black zip up hoodie for about $100. Any suggestion? Don't recommend H&M though because they have no store in my country.
2. For light-colored jeans (light grey, "dark white") is it better to go skinny/slim or looser?
Thank you in advance.
1) Yoox is having a sale you should check out.
2) Depends on the fit, but I personally think that a slightly trim fit works best all around.Return HomeBack to Forum: Streetwear and Denim

POLITICO (Washington) -- James B. Comey Jr., the top Bush administration official who rebelled against plans for domestic eavesdropping, is being pushed by some White House officials for inclusion on the short list of candidates to replace Supreme Court Justice David Souter, Democratic sources said.
President Barack Obama's aides have narrowed the list of possibilities considerably, but more than a dozen candidates remain under formal consideration, the sources said.
Comey, a former federal prosecutor and deputy attorney general, is the sort of unconventional choice - someone who's not a federal appeals court judge - that key senators and some administration officials have been urging the president to consider.
Comey, 48, has law-and-order credentials and is an authority on national-security cases, yet sees limits to how far government can go, and he stood up to oppose controversial Bush administration policies when other officials folded.
Comey threatened to resign as the No. 2 official at the Justice Department because of his objections to the planned domestic-eavesdropping program. He made his case in a private session with President George W. Bush that Comey described in 2007 congressional testimony as a "full exchange."
Comey was deputy attorney general from 2003 to 2005, when he became senior vice president and general counsel of Lockheed Martin Corp. He is a father of five — four girls and a boy.
Officials who are impressed by Comey are pushing to have him included on a final list for the president's consideration. No formal short list is yet on the president's desk, because choices are still being weighed and vetted, and he has not met all the potential candidates.
Seven of them, first reported by The Associated Press, are: California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and U.S. Appeals Court judges Sonia Sotomayor and Diane Pamela Wood.
Sources told POLITICO the list is accurate but, as AP said, incomplete. The name of Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick was floated early, but he is not believed to be under consideration.
Obama met with Senate Republican and Democratic leaders at the White House on Wednesday to discuss the process for nominating and selecting a new justice, but he told the senators he would not announce his nominee in coming days.
During the 40-minute Oval Office meeting, the president focused on the process and reiterated his desire to have the next justice seated by the time new Supreme Court session begins in October.
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) made pitches for a nominee with real life experience, such as a governor or a law professor.
The senators said the president stressed that he wanted a respectful process; he did not mention any potential names.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said he didn't recommend anyone to the president, but encouraged him not to pick a "judicial activist."
McConnell and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, urged Democrats to allow the standard 60-day vetting period after the nomination is announced before launching hearings.
"That's important to give the committee the opportunity to review the record," McConnell said. "In all likelihood, unless the president sends up a very controversial nominee, the vote should be able to occur well in advance of the first Monday in October."
Said Sessions: "There should not be any perception of ramming this through on some artificial deadlines."
Joking that Souter's retirement "kind of messes up my schedule," Reid said, "I told the president that we're going to do the best we can, do this as quickly as we can, without any arbitrary deadlines."
Reid also said if senators are prepared to call a hearing less than 60 days after Obama names a nominee, they will.
"We're going to do the best we can with no, I repeat for the third time, no arbitrary deadlines," he said.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the president told the senators he "welcomes consultation" as he makes a decision.
"There was agreement that the process would be civil and allow the nominee to get a fair hearing," Gibbs told reporters.

This invention concerns a new process for the production of polymers of olefins. More specifically, the invention concerns a process for the production of polymers of olefins in which novel catalysts are used.
It is known that olefins polymerize in the presence of certain catalysts according to an anionic reaction mechanism. The two groups of catalysts may be used for this reaction, namely (i) organometallic compounds or alkali metals and (ii) combined catalysts consisting of a compound of a transition metal and an organometallic compound.
These catalysts are sensitive to air and water and they are dangerous to handle on account of the fact, for example, that they ignite spontaneously in air. A further disadvantage in the use of these catalysts is that the monomers require extensive purification before the polymerization in order to free them from water.
Processes have also been described for the polymerization of olefins with catalysts which are obtained by irradiating metal chelate compounds in solutions which must be free from water, oxygen and polar compounds, with energy-rich rays, such as X-rays, fl-rays and 'y-rays and neutron and proton rays. The production of the catalysts and the purification of the solvents which are suitable for the purpose are complicated processes, in particular, as operation with energy-rich rays requires extensive protective measures. A further disadvantage is that the polymerization must be carried out with exclusion of water and atmospheric oxygen. In addition, energy-rich rays initiate the polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated compounds so that polymerization according to different mechanism takes place simultaneously with the result that non-uniform polymers are produced. It is an object of this invention to provide a process for the production of homopolymers and copolymers of olefins in which special purification of the monomers is not necessary. Another object of the invention is to provide a polymerization process in which catalysts which ignite spontaneously are not used. A further object of the invention is the production of copolymers of olefins and other ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compounds. Yet another object of the invention is the use of particularly eifective polymerization catalysts.
In accordance with this invention the said objects are achieved by using as the polymerization catalyst a mixture of:
(a) at least one metal chelate compound of a metal from groups IB, IIB, IVA, VA, VB, VIB, VIIB and VIII of the Periodic System or of the rare earths (Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 38th edition, pages 394 and 395) and (b) at least one unsaturated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarhon having five to twelve carbon atoms in the ring.
The process according to this invention may be used for the polymerization of polymerizable olefins having two to eight carbon atoms and one or two terminal olefinic double bonds, such as olefins with two to four carbon atoms and a single terminal double bond, as for example ethylene, propylene, n-butylene-(l), isobutylene and vinyl-aromatic compounds, such as styrene and also olefins having two terminal double 'bonds, such as butadiene-1,3, isoprene and 2,3-dimethylbutadiene-1,3.
The process according to this invention may also be used for the production of copolymers of polymerizable olefins and copolymers of polymerizable olefins with other ethylenically unsaturated monomeric polymerizable compounds. Copolyrners of olefins are defined as polymers which contain at least 50% by weight of olefins in polymerized form.
Suitable comonomers are, for example, the following ethylenically unsaturated monomeric polymerizable compounds: halostyrenes, styrene-sulfonic acid, afi-unsaturated carboxylic acids, such as acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, esters of acrylic acid with alcohols having one to eight arbon atoms, such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-butyl acryla-te, esters of methacrylic acid with alcohols having one to eight carbon atoms, such as methyl methacrylate and tertiarybutyl acrylate, vinyl esters of alcohol having one to ten carbon atoms, such as vinyl acetate, vinyl proprionate, vinyl benzoate, vinyl e-thers of alcohols having one to four carbon atoms, such as vinyl methyl ether and vinyl n-butyl ether, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, nitriles and amides of cap-unsaturated car-boxylic acids, such as acrylonitrile, methacrylonitril-e,
acrylamide, methacrylamide, vinyl ketones having four to seven carbon atoms, such as methyl vinyl ketone and isopropenyl vinyl ketone, N-vinyl compounds, such as vinylpyrrolidone, vinyl caprolactam, vinylimidazole and vinylcarbazol, fumaric acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, maleic imide, esters of maleic acid having one to six carbon atoms, such as diethyl maleate, dimethyl maleate, di-n-butyl male ate and the corresponding esters of fumaric acid.
Metal chelate compounds are defined as those compounds in which a metal atom is linked to two functional groups of a molecule by main valencies and coordinate bonds. Compounds of this type are, for example, described in the book, Chemistry of the Metal Cheliate Compounds, by Arthur E. Martell and Melvin Calvin, New York, Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1952.
Compounds suitable for the formation of metal chelate compounds (a) containing two functional groups which can become linked with metal atoms, one group being linked by main valencies and the other by coordinate bonds, are particularly fl-diketones, such as acetylacetone, ,B-ketocarboxylic esters, such as ethyland 3-methylbutene-(l)-ol-(3)-acetoacetate, amino acids having two to six carbon atoms, such as glycine and histidine, hydroxyaldehydes, such as salicylaldehyd-e, and also o-aminophenol, o-aminobenzoic acid or 4,5-phenanthroline (ophenanthroline) i The chelate complex compounds, for example in the case of acetylacetonate, may be represented by the following formula:
In this formula, Me denotes a divalent metal from the groups specified a-bove. Me may, however, also be monovalent, trivalent or of even higher valency. The production of the catalysts does not form the subject of this invention.
Examples of suitable metal chelate complex compounds are: copper acetoacetic acid ethyl ester, manganic acetylacetonate, cobaltic acetylacetonate, chromic acetylacetonate, chromium anthranilate, chromium glycinate, cobaltic acetylacetonimide, manganic anthranilate, manganeous acetoacetic acid ethyl ester, nickel salicylaldehyde, ceric acetylacetonate and vanadic acetylacetonate.
Examples of suitable unsaturated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbons having five to twelve carbon atoms in the ring (b) which are to be used in admixture with the metal chelate complex compounds as polymerization catalysts are: cyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene, cycloheptadiene, cyclooctatetraene, cyclooctadiene-1,5, cyclooctadiene-l,4, cyclooctadiene-1,3, the cyclododecatrienes-l,5,9, for example cyclododecatriene-l,5,9 (trans, trans, trans), cyclododecatriene-l,5,9 (cis, trans, trans) and cyclododecatriene-l,5,9 (cis, cis, cis).
For example it is particularly advantageous to use mixtures of cupric acetoacetic acid ethyl ester and cyclooctadiene-l,3, manganic acetylacetonate and cyclododecatriene-1,5,9 (trans, trans, trans), cobaltic acetylacetonate and cyclopentadiene, and chromic histidinate and cyclooctadiene-1,5.
Sometimes the eifectiveness of the mixture of chelate complex compound and unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon as an initiator may be increased by adding organic halogen compounds thereto, for example carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, trichloroacetamide, amyl chloride or dichloroethylene.
The metal chelate complex compounds (a) are used generally in amounts between 0.001 and preferably between 0.01 and 1%, by weight with reference to the monomeric compounds.
From 0.01 to 50 parts by weight of one or more unsaturated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbons (b) is used for each 1 part by weight of one or more metal chelate complex compounds (a).
With the catalyst mixture to be used according to this invention it is possible to copolymerize monomers which could only be incompletely copolymerized or could not be copolymerized at all with the prior art initiator mixtures. For example butadiene may be copolymerized with ethylene, butadiene with acrylic acid, ethylene with vinyl ethers, propylene with acrylic acid or acrylamide, or styrene with ethylene by the process according to this invention.
Some of the polymers have a sterically arranged structure. For example polyethylene prepared by the process according to this invention has a high crystalline fraction. The density is more than 0.95. In the polymerization of dienes, the 1,4-linkage is favored. The molecular weights of the polymers obtained may be varied within a wide range according to the polymerization conditions.
Polymerization may be carried out at temperatures between 0 and 180 C. according to the monomers to be polymerized. For example, ethylene may be homopolymerized or copolymerized at to 150 C., styrene, butadiene and isoprene at 20 to 130 C. The polymerization may be carried out at any pressure and pressures up to about 2000 atm. gauge or more may be used if necessary.
Monomers may be homopolymerized or copolymerized in substance using the catalyst mixtures according this invention. The monomers may however be mixed with inert auxiliary liquids for the polymerization. Such auxiliary liquids are for example aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as n-pentane, n-hexane, isohexane, n-heptane, n-octane, isooctane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, benzene, toluene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, ethylbenzene, cumene, isopropylbenzene, tetrahydronaphthalene or decahydronaphthalene. Ethers are also suitable, such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, glycol dimethyl ether or glycol phenylmethyl ether, and also alcohols and ketones, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanols, cyclohexanol, benzyl alcohol and acetone.
The polymerization may be carried out continuously or batchwise. The initiator mixture may be introduced into the reactor in admixture with the monomers or with an auxiliary liquid.
The mixtures of the metal chelate complex compounds (a) with unsaturated aliphatic cyclic hydrocarbons (b) have a greater activity than the pure chelate compounds. Thus for example higher rates of polymerization and higher yields are obtained with these mixtures. Moreover polymerization may be carried out at considerably lower temperatures at which the metal chelate complex compounds alone are not active or are inadequately active.
The unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbons act as co-catalysts but by themselves have no activity as polymerization catalysts.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples. The parts specified in the examples are parts by weight. The K-values are determined by the method of H. Fikentscher, Cellulose-chemie, volume 13 (1932), 58.
EXAMPLE 1 Mixtures composed of 20 parts of styrene, 0.1 part of one of the metal chelate complex compounds set out in Table 1 and 0.01 part of cyclooctadiene-1,5 are heated at to 120 C. for two hours. The polymer obtained is then precipitated in methanol. The K-value is measured in 1% solution in cyclohexanone. The results are given in Table 1. For purposes of comparison, styrene is polymerized under the same conditions but with only the metal chelate complex compound and the results achieved are indicated in (parentheses) in the table.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.Rated 5 out of 5 by JAVER1967 Well known brand, quality product Having had to drive 300 miles with the prospect of only one working headlight, Halfords were a god send, offering these bulbs and also the fitting service. Quick service too, problem fixed. No excuse for all those drivers that you see on the road with only one working headlight. Better deal when you buy pack of two, rather than just the one bulb. When one bulb goes, normally means that the other one is not far behind. 14 January 2016Rated 5 out of 5 by Hsteve Good lights, excellent service fitting them Lights do what they are meant to do. What stuck out for me was the speed and quality of the light fitters. No time to wait, did in my lunch break when I was in a rush.

International Personal Finance Quarterly Profit Falls 27%
International Personal Finance Plc said first-quarter pretax profit fell 27 percent because of higher costs and weaker exchange rates.
Profit before tax at IPF, which makes unsecured loans to low-income households in developing markets, declined to 6.1 million pounds ($9.7 million) from 8.3 million pounds in the year-earlier period, the company said in a statement today. First-quarter pretax revenue fell to 159.7 million pounds from 160.4 million pounds.
"We have made an encouraging start to the year and are on track to perform well in 2012," Chief Executive Officer Gerard Ryan said in the statement. "The result for the quarter includes the impact of higher rebate costs and weaker foreign exchange rates, which are in line with previous guidance."
The shares rose 4 percent to 245.5 pence at 8:46 a.m. in London, giving the company a market value of 631 million pounds.
IPF, based in Leeds, northern England, was spun off from Provident Financial Plc, the U.K.'s largest subprime lender, in July 2007.
